No comparison with that conversation. Sorry to say Ted, but I think you've really missed the boat on this one. If that system programmer is the DB2 sysprog that decided to play with his test subsystem and define 30G of buffer pools, he will quickly put my system in a wait state (assuming DB2 actually tried to use that storage). The DB2/CICS/WAS/ISV/etc. folks typically look at things from their own perspective only. Part of the job in my group is to be the gate keeper. As a capacity guy you should understand that because you have the same responsibilities to the health of the overall system. What if every authorized program / product felt "they knew more" and bypassed IEFUSI and just used whatever above the bar storage they wanted with no overall system control? I'd rather have the one DB2 subsystem or program abend than the entire system in a wait state. Using your argument, IBM should remove the ability of IEFUSI to influence region size and MEMLIMIT altogether. Sorry, given the past history this makes no sense at all to me (IMHO). This is the same place 31-bit was when systems only had 16M (or less) of central storage - only worse. 64-bit potential is just too big.
